For searching a document, I like using the floating Find/Replace window that pops up. Lately, however, hitting command–F pulls up this Find/Replace bar at the bottom of the editor window. I suppose I wouldn’t mind it so much, except instead of selecting the text to search it puts the insertion point after whatever I’ve searched for before. Very annoying. Clicking on the magnifying glass pops up the other Find/Replace dialog.
How can I get the normal dialog to pop-up by default?
I should add that for some reason search is no longer working in Preferences, so I can no longer just search for “Find” to locate the setting I might need to change. So you’ll have to give me the exact location.
A little more experimenting reveals that this is PyDev-specific behavior but I still can’t find the setting that needs changing.
I added a feature request to the Pydev tracker for a setting to suppress the find bar: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3097964&group_id=85796&atid=577332
